WASHINGTON, Oct. 11, 2011--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today announced the availability of a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) that evaluates the potential environmental effects of making a determination of nonregulated status of sugar beets genetically engineered (GE) to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate, known commercially as Roundup. These GE sugar beets are commonly referred to as Roundup Ready® (RR) sugar beets.
APHIS considered three alternatives in the draft EIS: deny the petition seeking a determination of nonregulated status, make a determination of nonregulated status, or extend the partial deregulation of RR sugar beets for the root crop, with mandatory conditions and restrictions.
APHIS originally deregulated RR sugar beets (Event H7-1) in 2005. The agency prepared this draft EIS to comply with a September 2009 judgment and order by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that APHIS should have prepared an EIS before making a determination on the nonregulated status of RR sugar beets.
On July 29, 2010, Monsanto and KWS SAAT AG submitted to APHIS a supplemental request to amend the petition requesting partial deregulation of RR sugar beets to authorize continued cultivation subject to carefully tailored interim measures and conditions. In response to that supplemental petition, APHIS prepared an environmental assessment and made a determination that it is appropriate to partially deregulate H7-1 sugar beets root crop production activities if grown under specific mandatory conditions.
APHIS is seeking public comment on the draft EIS and will consider all public comments submitted during the comment period before finalizing the EIS or making any decisions regarding the regulatory status of RR sugar beets. The comment period will be open for 60 days from the date of publication in Federal Register. To obtain feedback and take comments from members of the general public, APHIS is scheduling three public meetings. These meetings will take place in Fargo, N.D., on Nov. 15; Corvallis, Ore., on Nov. 17; and APHIS will also hold a public meeting in the Riverdale, Md., on Nov. 22. Exact locations will be published in the Federal Register and posted on the APHIS website.
The draft EIS is available on the APHIS website at www.aphis.usda.gov. Notice of this draft EIS will be published in this week's Federal Register.

Pianist Davide Cabassi debuted alongside an orchestra when he was only 13. He still remembers the explosive emotions he had as a person designated to enforce the power in a piece of music. He also recalls … well, just how young he really was. "It was a very big orchestra with a lot of old people and a very old Russian guy conducting," Cabassi, now 31, says of performing a Dmitri Shostakovich piano concerto with the RAI Symphony Orchestra in Milan. That performance was the start of a storied career for Cabassi, who's visited China, Russia, Switzerland and much of the United States. Even if piano hadn't become his life's work, he would've dedicated himself to it anyway. "When you do something all your life, you're just trained to do it, and you don't ask yourself when it's going to be a career because you'd just do it otherwise," says Cabassi, who began learning notes at age 4 and playing piano at age 6. "I didn't decide it was going to be my life. It was my life." Each guest artist at this season's Masterworks concerts is a finalist, medal- or award-winner from the 12th annual Van Cliburn International Piano Competition from 2005. The competition is so named after a pianist whose victory at a Russian piano competition in 1958 marked a new era in cultural relations. Held every four years, the Van Cliburn competition rewards its top finishers with guaranteed management, performances and CD-recording contracts. Cabassi was a finalist at the most recent competition, documented in the PBS film "In the Heart of Music." One of the more prominent competitors featured in the film, Cabassi says being incessantly followed by a camera crew had its perks and pains. "It's not something everyday to have TV crews with you, and they were very silent and not very invasive," Cabassi says. "But, sometimes, of course, we wanted to send them somewhere very far away. We were all incredibly nervous, and the whole situation was difficult to manage." Cabassi calls the competition one of his most difficult but exhilarating experiences, and he approached each round as he would any performance — adhering to a piece's text and context. "(The text) is the bible for me, to find out what the composer wanted from that particular piece in that moment of his life and his career," Cabassi says. (LOCALIZE START HERE) On Saturday, Cabassi will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21. Written in 1785, it's one of Mozart's most popular works — with mostly sunny overtones, but also sweeping themes that have been used in films such as "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Superman Returns." Under the baton of conductor and music director Karen Lynne Deal, the orchestra also will perform the overture to Leonard Bernstein's score for "West Side Story." And, honoring the 50th anniversary of Jean Sibelius' death, the concert concludes with his Symphony No. 1. Cabassi calls the Mozart concerto one of the composer's most technically demanding and aesthetically powerful pieces. "Mozart's music has such an incredible theatrical power, always like an opera, and incredibly beautiful," Cabassi says. "It's in C Major, which is a brilliant, beautiful key, and the second movement has one of the most incredible melodies written at the time." (END LOCALIZATION) Cabassi has a performance scheduled at the Louvre in Paris and several CDs in the works: "Pictures," including Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" and works by Claude Debussy; a box set with concerti by Brahms and a concerto by Robert Schumann; and a series of recordings with the La Scala String Quartet. But the biggest post-Van Cliburn boost to Cabassi's life has had little to do with his playing. "On the first tour I did, I went to meet a friend teaching in Kansas City, and I ended up marrying one of his students," Cabassi says. "She's the most beautiful, incredible wife possible."

Joshua Berrien Lastinger
Joshua Berrien Lastinger was born February 22, 1847 at the community then known as Allapaha, but later renamed Milltown and today known as Lakeland, GA. He was a son of William Lastinger and Louisa English. In 1848 his father made a deal with Joshua Lee to acquire approximately 2225 acres of land to the west of the town with a large millpond partly on the lands, gin and gristmills operated by water power, and several farms and dwellings. To these William Lastinger added a sawmill, also powered by water. The mills became know as Lastinger's Mills.
Joshua and his siblings grew up in a life of privilege at Stony Hill, the plantation his father established about six miles from the town. It is said that William Lastinger was the largest land owner, largest taxpayer and largest slaveholder in Berrien and Lowndes counties, owning over 100 slaves who worked on the Stony Hill plantation. The plantation house was a big two-story affair, and there was also an office building where Joshua's father managed his agricultural interests.
According to William Green Avera, Stony Hill was on the road from Milltown [now Lakeland] to Tyson Ferry where Coffee Road crossed the Alapaha River. This road, one of the earliest in the county, passed the residences of John Studstill, first Sheriff of Berrien County. Stony Hill was later the residence of Moses C. Lee.
In 1862, Joshua's father traded the Lastinger holdings to Henry Banks, of Atlanta, in exchange for 252 bales of cotton, 100 of which he sold for Confederate currency. Acquiring a new farm at Cat Creek, his father purchased more slaves to raise cotton. Thus, with their assets in slaves, cotton and Confederate currency, the Lastingers were fully invested in the future of the Confederate States of America. At the outbreak of the Civil War, all five of Joshua's brothers joined the Berrien Minute Men and became enlisted in the 29th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Joshua, being the youngest, joined the 5th Georgia Reserves. His sister, Elizabeth Lastinger, took up a collection for the Berrien Minute Men at a Grand Military Rally held at Milltown (now Lakeland) in May, 1861.
According to an article in the Highland County News-Sun:
Joshua Berrien Lastinger moved his family to Florida after the War Between the States. Their covered wagon, pulled by a team of oxen, carried Lastinger's wife, Louisa, six daughters and necessities along with a few nursery trees to plant. After camping in tents a few nights along the way they stayed temporarily in the small settlement of Owens near Arcadia. Their stove was unloaded from the wagon and set up with the stovepipe tied to a tree.
Lastinger traveled inland on a hunting trip to an area near present Lake Placid. Upon his return to his family in Owens, he announced to his wife that he had found the garden spot of the world. So they packed up the girls and the wagon and headed out.
As they made their way through Henscratch en route to their new homesite, Lastinger noticed a sawmill. This sawmill would later provide the lumber for him to build a raft that he would use to float lumber across the lake for the construction of the family home. Before the home was completed they fought off mosquitoes by draping netting from tree to tree over their bedding.
By 1891, they were homesteading 160 acres in the area of the northeast shore of Lake Stearns, now called Lake June. This homesite is still known as Lastinger Cove and some of the trees he planted are still living near the lake.He was able to donate a sizable strip of land for the railroad right of way in 1916 when the Atlantic Coast Line was extended from Sebring, FL. Lastinger was born February 27, 1847, in Ware County, GA. He served in the 5th Georgia Infantry Reserves and was discharged in May 1865.
Joshua Berrien Lastinger died in Arcadia, FL October 15, 1931. He is buried in Mt Ephram Baptist Cemetery [also known as Owen Cemetery] in Arcadia.

If you have ever been out of the game for any period of time you were most likely pulled up pretty short when you logged back in again.
More likely than not you fired up the PC and WoW on a whim with the desire to have 10 minutes in game to see if the spark was still there (or had returned).
Of course, rather than getting right into it, you had to sit through the patch downloads. If you were smart, you would have started the download just before you head to bed, but if you didn't, you probably found yourself checking back in every 10 minutes to see that things had only progressed by 1%… then the installation starts…Finally the time has come to play… but your UI looks worse than your desk, you can't remember which skills are attached to which keys, you heart sinks…
What do you do?
- Load up the character and just fumble about, maybe fixing one little thing each time you log in?
- Step back, and fix it from the ground up before frustrating yourself in game?
I know when I returned from India, I did a bit of both… I had* to play, but most play sessions were preceded with an hour of fixing… over a month or so.
Now one smart cookie is looking forward to his return to WoW after a long absence.
Previously the folk over at Three Druid Noob gave us blow by blow Multi-boxing tips, but right now, the whole "rebuild the UI" is happening in preparation for Razorbax's return to WoW.
So if that sort of thing floats your boat, go and check out the regular installments, particularly if you are a Druid, but even if you aren't it's an interesting journey! There's also been some very nice blog renovations over there as well… looking very sweet.
Gnomer and Out!
* If I wasn't actually playing… my Wife would have taken me away from the PC… so I had to play a bit… tinkering with the UI for a night just wouldn't have happened.

Coaches Tip - Plan Your Practice
OK, you have just volunteered to coach you son's lacrosse team. Not a problem, I can do this. After all I was all-metro in high school and played all 4 years at a division I university, I can handle this. Be prepared to expect anything when coaching youth sports. All I can say is I won't go into any further detail than that...
Coaching tip #1: Always take the time to plan out your practice.
This could be anything from a printed document to a crumpled up piece of paper in your pocket, but come to practice with a specific set of goals/drills to work on.
For example, here's a simple practice plan for our 4-5 year old Pockets program. Lets assume practice begins at 6:00 and will end at 7:00. I've added some drill instruction to my practice plan as well as what's running through my noggin during practice; the drills are highlighted in blue.
Pockets Practice - March 17th, 6:00 - 7:00
6:00 - 6:10 Shooting Drills
6:10 - 6:20 Obstacle Course Relay
6:20 - 6:25 Water/Drink Break
6:25 - 6:35 Ground Balls
6:35 - 6:45 Field Positioning & Defensive Positioning
6:45 - 6:50 Water/Drink Break
6:50 - 7:00 Scrimmage the other team.
When practice is over, bring them in for a team cheer, and then cut them loose on the snacks.
Oh yea, assign a snack/schedule once you have your team roster and bring enough snacks for all the siblings.
Ok, practice is over and here's what you have accomplished:
Not bad for an hours work. But you will never accomplish that much in an hour if you don't plan out your practice ahead of time.
I hope this helps. If you have any comments please feel free to forward them to
Have a great week,

I grew up eating Mama Bells Jewish Brisket and it is a family recipe that has been handed down from generation. Although now I am more into smoked brisket than I am my mom's Jewish brisket recipe, there is no doubt that these are two different dishes entirely. This Jewish style brisket recipe is made in the oven, not on the BBQ. However the end result is a brisket that is sweet, tender and delicious which is just the way my mama makes it for the Jewish holidays. Make sure you get yourself a nice challah loaf or some buns for sandwiches the next day.
- Start with a 5 to 8 pound prime or choice trimmed (1/4″ of fat) brisket flat.
- 2 Cans of Fresh Cut Whole New Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Slice Two Large Onions, thinner the better.
- Pour two bottles of Bennetts Chili Sauce into a large roasting pan.
- Fill each bottle with water, shake it and pour this into the roasting pan.
- Pour 1 Cup of Brown Sugar into the roasting pan and stir.
- Drop in half of your sliced onions into the mix and place the brisket into the pan and cover with the balance of your onions.
- Put into oven, covered for 5 hours or until the brisket is tender enough to insert a toothpick like it is butter.
- 3 hours in, put in some Canned Fresh Cut Whole New Potatoes into the gravy
When the brisket is done cooking, let sit before slicing. My mother usually cooks a couple of days before and she takes it back to the butcher shop after it has cooled and has them slice it into 1/4″ slices and then puts the slices back into the gravy. Oye! Enjoy.


text: I don't like to overreact to stuff if I can help it. But those replays of the Jenkins face-scrape of Rodgers looked really bad. What the hell was he reaching for? He was clearly reaching for Rodgers' face/facemask. He was reaching high and the only thing he could have hit was Rodgers' head – and there's no way he didn't know that. Again I'm fighting myself here as I essentially suggest that that was intentional, especially on a busted up play, but what else was it? Egregious foul.

Two weeks ago on the Art of Tea blog, we shared some of the key components that set Japanese green teas apart from each other. This week, we're continuing the story of what makes Japanese green teas unique with more information on Japanese green tea processing styles and Japanese green tea blending.
Processing Styles
Most Japanese green teas are steamed. However, some (like Houjicha, our roasted-style Kukicha Twig Tea and Kamairicha) are roasted or pan-fired in a manner akin to Chinese green tea processing.
Within the category of steamed green teas, the amount of time the leaves are steamed also influenced the tea's final flavor, aroma and appearance. For example, Fukamishi (deep-steamed) Sencha like our Zuisha Sencha has a bold green color with a mild aroma and a straightforward flavor, while Asamushi (light-steamed) Sencha has a light golden-green brew, nuanced aroma and complex flavor.
Some teas are steamed so heavily that the leaves begin to fall apart. In some cases, the veins and stems of the leaves are removed and the remainder of the leaf is slowly ground into a fine powder known as Matcha. Some Matcha teas (like our Ceremonial Matcha andMatcha Grade A) are whisked into a frothy, emerald-green brew before consumption. Others (like our Ginger Matcha) can be whisked or they can be blended into hot or iced tea lattes and smoothies.
Unusual variations on Matcha include Tencha (leaves that are steamed to make Matcha, but left un-ground), Kenacha (a lower-grade powdered tea made from un-shaded leaves) and Kokeicha (a powdered green tea that is kneaded with rice starch, extruded, cut into leaf-sized pieces and dried).
In Japan, some green tea (usually Bancha) is blended with toasted and puffed brown rice to make a nutty, low-caffeine tea called Gen Mai Cha ("brown rice tea"). If Gen Mai Cha is dusted with Matcha, it's known as "Matcha-iri Genmaicha" or Gen Mai Matcha.
Here at Art of Tea, we employ artisan-blending techniques on some of our Japanese green teas. Using the naturally fresh, vegetal flavor of steamed Japanese green tea as a base, we draw upon all our senses to create blends like Tropical Green Tea Pineapple, Mango Melange, Japanese Cherry, Holiday Berry Green Tea and Ginger Matcha. We also combine the roasted, deep flavor of Houjicha with cold-pressed vanilla essence and white chocolate to make our decadent, latte-like Houjicha de la Crème. These are certainly not traditional blends, but they have been instrumental in helping an international audience come to love the flavor of Japanese green tea.

Twenty years ago, Junior Seau looked into a camera during the making of an "NFL Rocks" video and said of his most violent pro football tackles, "If I can feel some dizziness, I know that guy is feeling double [that]."
Last summer, the 43-year-old Seau felt such personal pain that he committed suicide, leaving behind an ex-wife and four children who were given instructions to donate his brain to science so researchers could search for what impact all those collisions may have had on his life after football.
The scientific result of those studies revealed what most feared, what far too many former National Football League players are experiencing after retirement -- chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
The emotional result of CTE on his family was front and center on Wednesday with news that the Seaus are suing the NFL for "acts of omission" in both ignoring and concealing evidence regarding traumatic brain injuries.
"We know this lawsuit will not bring back Junior," the family said in a statement. "But it will send a message that the NFL needs to care for its former players, acknowledge its decades of deception on the issue of head injuries and player safety, and make the game safer for future generations."
This is not to say that there's any way to keep pro football from remaining a dangerous sport as long as it's played by superb, oversized athletes covered in hard armor, often colliding at high speeds.
For the fans, that's much of its allure. Well, that and the billions bet each Sunday on NFL games.
And to a degree, that's OK. No one forces these guys to play. They do it because they both love the game and love the relatively obscene amounts of money they're paid to play it.
But walking around with a bum knee or sore shoulder the last 50 years of your life is not the same as losing your mind before you're 50.
According to The Associated Press, more than 3,800 players have sued the NFL over head injuries in at least 175 cases. More than 100 of those cases have been brought together before U.S. District judge Anita B. Brody in Philadelphia.
Not that the Seaus are content to sue the NFL only. They're also going after helmet manufacturer Riddell, claiming the company was, "negligent in their design, testing, assembly, manufacture, marketing and engineering of the helmets."
Maybe the helmets were flawed and maybe not. But if the NFL did as the Seau lawsuit contends and glorified violent collisions as, "A badge of courage which does not seriously threaten one's health," a jury might deliver the family a favorable verdict.
Especially if Seau's attorneys can further prove, as they allege, "The NFL knew or suspected that any rule changes that sought to recognize that link [between violent play and brain disease] and the health risk to NFL players would impose an economic cost that would significantly and adversely change the profit margins enjoyed by the NFL and its teams."
In other words, the NFL has spent a lot of time over the past two decades doing what most corporations almost always do at the first sign of trouble -- deny, Deny, DENY!
Again, no one made these men play, and certainly no one made Seau appear to relish the act of knocking a man silly.
Still, a civilized society is also supposed to protect us from ourselves whenever possible. It's why we've strengthened and far more seriously enforced DUI laws in recent years. It's why we pull drugs from the shelves when found to be unsafe. It's why every cigarette carton comes with a warning from the Surgeon General.
At the very least, perhaps the NFL should demand a sticker on the back of every helmet that reads, "Using this helmet as a weapon has been found to be extremely hazardous to both your mental health, as well as the person you strike."
But there's another reason to stop this violence, to return to the day when tackling involved wrapping your arms around a guy's waist and dragging him down rather than trying to separate his head from his shoulders.
"The greatest thing [changing tackling rules would do] is changing the way young people play when they start to play tackle football," Archie Manning told ESPN on Wednesday.
"And I think [football] is going to change. I think it's going to be a less violent game in the future. It may not excite the fans as much, but form tackling will improve."
This doesn't mean that the Seaus will or should win their lawsuit. As good a player as Seau was, his delight in bone-jarring tackles near the head is bound to harden a jury against a big settlement.
But as Peyton and Eli's pop -- without question the most beloved figure in Ole Miss football history -- told ESPN, changing this culture is far more important than the thousands of current and former NFL players whose lives have been diminished and destroyed by unnecessary violence.
This is also about helping the game's future stars do more than make their own highlights. It's about ensuring that 20 years after they retire, they'll be able to clearly remember what made them special.

It is fair to say that both total abstinence and moderate use were acceptable to Jesus.
Following the parable of the children at play (Matthew 11:16-19, NRSV), Jesus added these words: "For John [the Baptist] came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon'; the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' " Clearly, Jesus intended the parable to show what he thought of debates about eating and drinking. They were petty and distracting. They drew attention from the real issues facing the nation.
There is a heated debate that rages every year around holiday time. On the Christian Headlines blog there is an editorial response to Hugh Laurie's discussion "Some Thoughts on Drinking in This Holiday Season".

It has been sometime since I last considered my list. Since it is a popular hit on my blog (people would rather look at pictures of pretty men than read the crap I come out with apparently), I thought I would have another look. I am changing things up though and this time I am picking winners in five different categories. Oh and I will also mention the runners-up so you know how hard it was to make my choice! I have spent WAY too much time on this. Also, I found it really hard to find pics which truly showed off the awesomeness of the guys I chose. I like to think this is because I like them for their 3-D versions more than just their pretty looks. Or it could be because I am one plane ticket away from being a professional stalker.
Best on TV (past):
Michael Vartan as Agent Vaughn (Alias)
For all the wrinkle-brow concern. For the shoot-em-beat-em holster-wearing goodness. For coming back from the dead, simply because we demanded it. And don't even get me started on when he speaks his mother tongue.
Runners up:
Bradley Cooper as Will Tippin (Alias)
Michael Weatherly as Logan Cale (Dark Angel)
David Boreanaz as Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel)
Bryan Greenberg as Jake Jagielski (One Tree Hill)
Best on TV (present):
John Krasinski as Jim Halpert (The Office, An American Workplace)
Sure, he doesn't have the Davidoff beach bod of Sawyer or the grufty ruggedness of Jack but the Lost boys lose out to John everytime. We really mean it when we say sense of humour is important.
Josh Holloway as Sawyer/James Ford (Lost)
Matthew Fox as Jack Shephard (Lost)
David Boreanaz as Seeley Booth (Bones)
Zachary Levi as Chuck (Chuck)
Best in Music:
Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters)
No-one comes close in this category. He is ultra-talented, the essence of cool and as I keep telling my husband, I just wish he were our friend. His voice is yum.
Runners up:
Chris Cornell (Soundgarden / Audioslave)
Justin Timberlake
Best in Film:
Christian Bale
A shameful omission from my previous list and the only Brit in attendance, Christian is hot and deep. Very talented and also plays a superhero. I do have a thing for Superheroes. Don't tell the feminist inside me.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
Josh Lucas
Johnny Depp
Brandon Routh
And in the They Haven't Made The Cut But They Are Really Rather Charming category:
Joshua Jackson
Matthew Settle
Lee Pace
James Denton
James Tupper
Hugh Jackman (as Wolverine!)
Tom Welling
Karl Urban
Ryan Egghold
Danny Masterson (in That 70s Show – it's the sideburns!)
And finally, Best in real life (Lifetime Achievement Award):
Ricardo. No Runners- Up.

Birdcages are lovely, just like lanterns, but I dont like to see little birds caged up though, birds are meant to be free :) I love the detail on those bird cages and as once they are for decorative purposes only with no birds inside I love them :)
All things nice...

Friday started nice, but it didn't take long to turn dark. Very dark.
As the storm rolled in, my wife and I swung by the nursery to pick up stuff to start a balcony veggie garden. I haven't tried my hand at gardening in more than a decade. We'll see how this plays out.
Saturday: a cool day that made for a beautiful ride to the PHP User Group meeting. Taken with my phone's camera, this shot makes old-town Lenexa look... old! Okay, the rusting motor city boat helps, too.
A not-quite-perfect panorama of Old-Town Lenexa. I used Hugin's default settings. Click for big.
Sunday was the family's combined belated Mother's Day / Noah Birthday party. I'm days away from losing my twenty-something status and not quite sure how I feel about that.
Mom and dad found a baby Great Horned Owl with a broken wing. Mom has some experience dealing with hawks, so she's helping the owl out. This is a baby. Fully grown, they can end up more than two feet tall perched and with an eight-foot wingspan. Note the use of heavy leather gloves and eye protection.
Dumpster score: recycling some ATM machine parts. Don't ask.
Trying to wake up this morning. Caffeine. It's what's for breakfast.
... and for supper ... Not sure if I like it better than "High Fructose Corn Syrup Dew" or not. It's different. It's good. I just don't know if it's better.
Sally went on a road trip over the weekend and brought us back a treat from Eastern Missouri. We didn't have to drive there this time. We did have to stay up really late to meet up with her, but it was worth it. White Castle's one of those things that you either love or hate, but even if you love it, you usually just crave it for a bit, then you're pretty much done with it for a few months. Or maybe that's just me.
I also got a pair of two-cycle weed trimmers working over the weekend. Both of them actually fired right up but needed a tune-up badly. This Toro engine has a centrifugal clutch built in. That's fairly uncommon. While I love my bikes, I have a fascination with mechanical things and a knack for hackery. I have something interesting in store for this one. I just need to acquire some parts first.

Hi Noah,
Some say there is only 1 solution to getting older....more power....you could mate one of those 2 strokes with one of your bikes and hit 30 mph without breaking a sweat. Mind you, you'll get more out of shape and the big 3-0 will start feeling like 4-0 before you know it.

My neighbor has a true bikezilla with a small motor attached; I hate it. It is loud enough to wake my daughter and there is something about this guy riding his bike bare foot...without ever needing to pedal. The purist in me is agonized.

I saw one of those on a bike not long ago.
I hated to be judgmental, but from my brief conversation with him, I suspected the guy may have had a few DUI's.

Holidays Boost Sales Tax Receipts (Jan 15, 2013)
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - State finance officials say a brisk holiday shopping season helped boost Oklahoma's sales tax receipts last month to an all-time monthly high and sends a strong signal about the state's economic health.
But state Secretary of Finance Preston Doerflinger said Tuesday that despite the strong sales tax collections, overall collections to the state's general fund were down slightly in December and for the first six months of the fiscal year, mostly due to lower oil and natural gas prices.
Total general fund collections in December were $528.9 million, down by 2.5 percent from December 2011.
Doerflinger says sales tax receipts to the state's general fund totaled $172 million in December. That is the highest for any month ever and an increase of 12.1 percent over December 2011.

Tokyo, Japan (November 30, 2009) – Clarion Co., Ltd, the pioneering global manufacturer of vehicle electronic devices, today announced that it will supply the VX709B DVD multimedia station and NP509B navigation system as a unit for installation in the Mitsubishi Pajero Full and Outlander in Brazil beginning in late November.

The Pajero Full and Outlander are imported and marketed in Brazil by MMC Automotores do Brasil Ltda. (MMCB), a local production and sales company affiliated with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. This is the first time for a full-spec touchscreen navigation device to be supplied for automobiles marketed in Brazil.

The VX709B, which went on sale in February 2009, is the Brazilian-market version of the VX709 series, which Clarion also markets to consumers in North America (VX709), Europe (VX709E) and Asia-Pacific (VX709A) except Japan.
The NP509B is a full-spec navigation system with 3D map, 3D landmarks and rewritable point-of-interest (POI) information stored in 2GB flash memory. It also is equipped with a dictionary database of street names for voice-guided navigation. The NP509B, which went on sale in August 2009, is the Brazilian-market version of the NP509 series, which also is marketed to consumers in North America (NP509), Europe (NP509E) and Asia-Pacific (NP509A) except Japan.
Clarion do Brasil Ltda., Clarion's Brazilian subsidiary, plans to offer similar units to makers of luxury cars in the growing Brazilian market. The company has been supplying the MAX 685, a multimedia station, to MMCB since March 2009.
